7P5- 3D

Using Tinkercad and a 3D printer, I created A chicken feeder because I have a chicken with a deformed beak. Another reason I did this is because my family can use it to bond with the newly-hatched chickens. We want to bond with the younger chickens so that they don't attack us.

During this process, I learned it is easier to scale a grid in Tinkercad than I thought. I learned this by scaling the grid multiple times until I found the right size. I also learned that it is actually quite hard to design a tray with the scribble tool.

The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Knowledge constructor because I had to use my prior knowledge and experience with 3D to create a 3 inch by 3 inch chicken feeder.

A challenge I overcame on this project was designing the tray. I was able to do it by using the scribble tool. I also used cylinders to create the tray.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change the tray's design. The reason why I would change it is because it was way too time-consuming.
